INSTALLATIONS

LUMA’s strength is in collaboration. We work closely with our creative partners and guest artists to help develop the concepts and ideas on display at LUMA. Some of the installations have been shown previously in other festivals, but for the most part our artists have created the pieces specifically for LUMA, or modify an existing work to suit site specific locations in the unique setting of the Queenstown Gardens. Check out the artists page for more information on our creative partners.
